Second full day at Spring Harvest
today. Woke at 7 a.m. and made tea,
showered and watched the news on the chalet TV as well as the Big Start from
the Big Top. Today we begin our four
days of bible study with Gerard Kelly in the Big Top unpicking the theme of
“The Source” through a study of the First Epistle of John. Today we started looking and what “Being” a
Christian means. Brilliant teaching, as
always, followed by a further discussion in the “Think Zone” with Malcolm
Duncan and Ruth Valerio. After a light
lunch I wrote another 200 words of my essay on Christian doctrine and having
had tea and biscuits went to the Check-In for another seminar led by Malcolm
Duncan on “gay marriage”. Malcolm is
very clear in his views – he accepts homosexuality but cannot accept that
same-sex marriage can be truly marriage in the biblical sense and quoted a
number of biblical references in support of his view. A great night in the Big Top Celebration tonight
– more wonderful worship songs with Noel Robinson and another brilliant talk
from Rob Parsons. Sara, I, Thom and Mary
went to see Tim Vine again tonight together whether Sophie, Ethan and Petra.
Sophie was telling us that she had bought 17 sheep which were now on their farm
in Carmarthenshire and that they were aiming at being totally
self-sufficient. Enjoyed a couple of
glasses of wine before going to bed again at 1 a.m. There is no Internet connection on the chalet
which is hindering me checking some details for my essay. Will try and get the answers I need tomorrow.
